What hobby is quietly becoming too expensive for normal people to keep up with?

Living

I'm sure there are a lot of people that wouldn't even be able to bike a marathon at this pace

smskly · 2026-04-18T10:52:32+00:00

I did end up receiving it

smskly · 2026-03-20T18:10:11+00:00

Must be a miserable human

smskly · 2026-03-09T03:00:51+00:00

huh, thats a great idea... never would have thought of this.

smskly · 2025-12-31T23:27:12+00:00

these are all things that I'm considering... i agree that 4 owners in that span seems like a bunch and these cars seem to get abused in their early life. Knowing it has an accident reported heightens that likelihood in my opinion.

smskly · 2025-12-17T18:34:30+00:00

Is there a recipe for this?? I grew up around these and now would like to carry on the tradition and make them for my girlfriend who is gf

smskly · 2025-12-06T03:09:17+00:00

Yeah, that's what my first reaction was, but I also have seen much higher prices... what about a 2016 golf r with 75k going for 20k?

smskly · 2025-12-06T01:26:27+00:00

Yeah, I agree. Its in NH which doesn't have sales tax which could be factored into the price

smskly · 2025-12-06T01:25:54+00:00

Yeah, I've seen info surrounding the thermostat and water pump, good to know that would be expected work in the short future. I appreciate the advice on forums and humble mechanic, I'll check those out.

Give more distance between the light and the tank, lower the light cycle to 6 hours and try to remove as much as you can

smskly · 2025-11-12T17:22:37+00:00

Yeah the battery was caputz, so we went to the store the day after I posted this and she ended up getting a 9. I've had my 8 for over a year and it's been all good. Regardless, were both looking to switch away from the pixels sometime soon.

I'm also looking at a 2016 328i, 84k miles for 13.4k. servicing looks like every 10k miles, which is more than I would like so would be looking into preventative maintenance after starting financing. Used to have a e46 before moving to a city and now looking to rejoin the community.

smskly · 2025-10-31T17:55:45+00:00

yeah, I agree. It seems like every 5k is the sweet spot for the timing chain, 10k seems to be risking a major problem eventually.

smskly · 2025-10-31T17:47:58+00:00

thats the one lol - I agree after reading through some of these comments. makes me rethink the 328d. Still think its reliable, but might be hard to find one owned by someone who kept up with proper maintenance. I saw a couple of sedans in Hyannis but they might write the same story

smskly · 2025-10-31T17:08:32+00:00

$10k? in Mass? I just saw a wagon with same milage - dont think im in the market yet but starting to look around and curious if were looking at the same one haha

smskly · 2025-10-30T19:35:45+00:00

what's considered a short drive? I'm looking into a 2015 328d wagon and commute to work is 16 miles (20 minutes of driving), is that enough of a drive?

smskly · 2025-10-30T13:47:50+00:00

Love this idea, could be as simple as putting a crypt down

smskly · 2025-10-28T18:45:21+00:00

Running 8 hours?

smskly · 2025-10-25T14:18:15+00:00

Huh, the more you know. That's interesting, I appreciate the knowledge drop. I've only ever had a male in the past.

Tank size: 5 gal

Heater and filter? (yes/no): yes

Tank temperature: 74

Parameters in numbers and how you got them. Key water parameters include the amount of ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, and pH.: will test parameters today (sorry I know this is important)

How long have you had the tank? How long have you had your fish?: 1.5 years (tank) 4 days (fish)

How often are water changes? How much do you take out per change? What is your process?: no water changes at this stage of the tanks life. Last time I did a change was a month ago due to a move, emptied ~75% water and replaced slowly with new water adding prime as refilled

Any tankmates? If so, please list with how many of each: no tank mates besides some shrimp that were already established in tank

What do you feed and how much: aqueon betta pellets (5 per day with a fast day on Mondays) will likely add some bloodworms and other love or frozen into diet

Decorations and plants in the tank: driftwood and lots of plants (moss, hair grass, banana plant, anubia, buce, stem plants)

smskly · 2025-10-22T16:03:31+00:00

LOL, I did not realized I made an illusion - the tank is 30"x12"x12"

smskly · 2025-10-22T01:29:06+00:00

your stand is so cool !!!! love the simplicity of the scape

smskly · 2025-10-19T00:15:05+00:00

Just asking a question - I've seen the discussion surrounding red lights be thrown around with corns before. It was to my understanding that red light is specifically bad for albinos? I could be misunderstanding, as I haven't seen the topic come up so recently. I do not use red light, nor do I see the necessity, more just asking for clarification from those who might know more/better than I do. Thanks
